mitt romney still didn't have a lot of say. that's the kind of thing that americans look for you to stand up and corral your people and say we've got too far. let's get back to the center of the debate. and that's what i think mitt romney -- >> he did give the you know, the least shutdown kind of comment about rush limbaugh. certainly rick santorum was much stronger in saying it was absurd. there's also been a backlash to the rush limbaugh situation. a hawaii station has dropped him as well. armed forces did not. he apologized again today saying he had dropped to the level of the left. here he is. >> i descended to their level. when i used those two words to describe sandra. that was my error. i became like them and i again, sincerely apologize for using those two words. >> at the -- when this first happened, what do you think went through mitt romney's head? he said that wasn't appropriate or words i would have used or something like that, but didn't say that was absurd or ridiculous. >> look, i don't think anybody is out ther

a romney aide said it would take, quote, an act of god to prevent romney from being the nominee. here's santorum on that. >> what won't they resort to to try to bully their way through this race? if the governor thinks he's now ordained by god to win, then let's just have it out. >> ed, lenny, both of you are now god. who's right? ed? >> it might take an act of god for mitt romney to get more than 50% of the vote in any of these primaries. so long as there's three candidates in the race, he does a little bit better. he doesn't need 50%. i think that, in this case, gingrich is playing spoiler. he alone is prolonging this process and preventing it from being competitive between two viable candidates. and for democrats like me, i love newt gingrich. i think he's making this primary a lot more entertaining. >> lenny, do you agree? >> no, i don't, but if the mitt romney camp's looking for acts of god, they'd better ask god for more support from the conservative base to get behind mitt romney, and they'd better ask god for independents to start shifting back towards mitt romney. those

between santorum and romney. historically, super tuesday is when the nomination is clinched reagan, bush, clinton, mckale, all emerged after the big day. but nobody will walk away with the actual nomination. not as many states as last time and this whole proportional allocation thing, that's a real problem. some of those guys probably regret it now. unfortunately for the gop they have caused this to drag out. this has been going on and destroying the party's image. a new poll says 4 in 10 americans say the primary process has left them with a less favorable impression of the republican party. okay, so great to have you with us. i appreciate it. let's talk first of all about what everybody needs to do tomorrow to actually win this thing. mitt romney is the guy people are looking at to see if he can do it. john avalon, he's got to win a majority of delegates. >> yeah, i think the bar's pretty high, but he's won five states in a row. the big mo seems to be behind mitt romney. the key is to get out from behind his st
